Strong Showing for Komo Machine, Inc. at AWFS 2007 |
||||||||||
|
The AWFS 2007 Fair in Las Vegas, Nevada proved to be another success for the Komo Machine, Inc. booth. The show drew spectators all throughout the world and all came to see the new innovations by Komo Machine, Inc. Leading the way was the introduction of the Fusion Twin Table Series. The new model promoted all the innovations and improvements that was made with the introduction of the Fusion Series into this twin table model. With dual spindles and dual 15 position toolchangers, the Fusion Twin Table Series will be the most productive twin table option on the market. Komo showed off some of the new features such as the Automatic Height Offset, upgraded six foot tables, C Axis and much more. See the Fusion Twin Table in Action at the AWFS 2007 Show! Komo continued the Automation push with the New Mach Xtreme Series and the Automatic Material Handling System with Conveyor Offload table. This unique nesting cell can give you the capability of producing up to 200 sheets per shift. The addition of the conveyor offload table reduces operator fatigue and safety making this our most productive manufacturing cell yet. So to came the advances in our Router-CIM CAD/CAM programming software with the introduction of Router-CIM Automation Suite 2008. This new streamlined interface brings with it the power of AutoCAD with the simplicity of Drag-N-Drop Capability and true Right Click-N-Cut features. On the fly demonstrations showed the simplicity of the software and the ease of machine control by the Komo Production Manager software. The true live demonstrations once again set Komo Machine, Inc. apart from the rest proving to visitors in the booth that Komo is still the premiere CNC machining center manufacturer on the market today.
Komo Machine, Inc. thanks all its sponsors and personnel that made this a successful show. |

Building high quality, high speed CNC machining centers requires innovation and doing this without any lost time accidents for the past 1000 days is truly an achievement we are proud of. Komo Machine, Inc. was recently awarded the State Fund Mutual Companies’ Premier Partner Award. The award recognizes employers for outstanding performance in workers’ compensation and for leadership in putting good ideas into action. Komo Machine, Inc. has just surpassed 1000 consecutive days of No Lost Time Accidents. For Komo Machine, building a culture of safety took three steps. 1) Making Safety top-of-mind for all employees at all times. 2) Listening to feedback, implementing ideas. 3) Rewarding good safety practices. This accomplishment is something we are very proud of here at Komo. Komo’s Safety Committee continually looks for ways to make our plant a safer environment for the employees. “Ultimately, we look to eliminate the cause of the accident or problem instead of just focusing on the incident,” said June Olson, one of Komo Machine’s long-time Safety Committee members. Members of this committee look at not only accidents, but also near misses. “Our efforts are paying off,” said Charles Zajaczkowski.

Komo Machine has donated all the nightstands that it produced to the Furniture Bank of Metro Atlanta. Komo believes that helping the community is not only an option, but our obligation. We strive to sustain a close relationship with our community in Sauk Rapids, Minnesota, but also communities that have helped us become who we are today.

They all received a solid surface top with an elegant inlay. All the parts of the nightstands were produced at the IWF 2006 Show on the Komo CNC machining centers. The nightstands were delivered to the Furniture Bank of Metro Atlanta on Monday, August 28th, 2006. They will be placed in deserving homes in the local Atlanta community.
